Guest Tom G Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Sorry I haven't been around the forums much lately. As some of you already know I have been working on a CyanogenMod 7 build for the Pulse which I hope to have submitted to the CyanogenMod project in the next few days, but I have run into a bit of a problem with space. It was working ok until a few days ago when aosp 2.3.3 changes were merged into CM7 which has pushed the size up slightly. I now don't have enough space for gapps and can't find anything to remove. At the moment I am using the T-Mobile UK 2.1 base firmware, with the partition table below. I remember some other roms having slightly different sizes. /dev/block/mtdblock1 100.0M 98.7M 1.3M 99% /system /dev/block/mtdblock2 90.3M 34.5M 55.7M 38% /data /dev/block/mtdblock3 20.0M 1.1M 18.9M 6% /cache I need at least another 5MB in system. What were the partition sizes in other roms? This will only be any issue for users with the original small nand U8220/U8230. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest D-D- Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 The official HU update repartitions ur phone with more system memory. I have 110MB in system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tom G Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 Thanks. I thought the HU version was a bit bigger. That should fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tom G Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 I installed the Hungarian rom and now logcat doesn't work. Anyone know why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest twrock Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 I installed the Hungarian rom and now logcat doesn't work. Anyone know why? I don't have an answer for this question, but I believe the Tre rom had a larger /system partition as well. I don't know if you will have a different experience with that rom. Some of those "necessary" gapps can be installed from the Market after rom installation, so they do not have to be pre-installed. Vending is of course critical, but there are plenty of others that can be left out of the base rom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only the minimum is installed to /system, but with 100MB there wasn't room for those minimal bits. I've found a solution to the logcat problem, but might try the Tre rom so I don't have a TMob boot screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, so CM7 is that big? Well, I guess if you can get it working like you did CM6, and DT Apps2SD works, the data space won't be as big of an issue. BTW, thanks for keeping up the work on this. CM6 has been great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sentroy Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 112mb (83% used) / 82mb (67% used) / 20mb (14% used) running dta2sd with only apps on sd (class 4). Tre's partitions have been the best for my pulse. Think that pulse update spree will stop somewhere on the 2.3.X (but I'm not hoping). Does anyone know how much each update has grown in size? For 2.1 thru 2,3? And as many have already said thank you Tom for holding up this community lately with your awesome updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest igor_anta Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Wow, beautiful news :( I have to apologize Tom, for a moment there I thought you gave up on this phone. So I guess Time Machine and back to Tre 2.1 (has anyone tried to update the Tre rom over the old UK 2.1)?: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember the exact name of the menu,! But I think that it's called Project Menu Act! And then something like debuging, or backgroud logs. Something like that. Any way you can do it via RootExplorer apk download z4root.apk gain the root access. and then via root explorer go to: /sys/kernel/logger/ and in all trhee folders edit the enable files change it to 1 And you ill get logcat working! :mellow: You can do it later in any rom for pulse! Even in your CM7 ROM! Best regards TOTI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
